WmTrevor,
...it is a dextrous tactic proven to foster the fag brigades' agenda.

Okay, we finally have a Wiggles thread...(about bloody time:)

My son is now ten, so he's well past the Wiggles. However, he did so enjoy them during his younger years - circa Greg Page as the yellow Wiggle.
You're right, Pericles, that Dorothy is the most feminine of dinosaurs - she even has a garden where she will serve you rosy tea. Captain Feathersword is less gay and more your bumbling vacuous friendly pirate. I always thought Henry the Octopus was the gay one.

To tell the truth, I miss having the Wiggles on (although I still have a couple of DVDs which I'm now tempted to secretly watch while everyone's asleep)

Here we were continuing to raise the average IQ and interest level of this thread when antepenultimate to this comment…

You may be right about Henry, though I always thought purple was deliberately counterintuitive. Lilac, on the other hand, may have been too unsubtle a choice of colour… Usually cephalopods are suckers, but I bet you, Henry thinks it's the size of your hectocotylus that counts.

WmTrevor,

I think Henry was wrongly cast... in my experience it's usually the heterosexual males that appear to have eight hands.( although I've led a sheltered life :)

Hence your :)

As you've said elsewhere... 'half yer luck'!

To rephrase the 'schoolboy' joke, Why do OCTO-pusses have TEN-tackles?

Well! Now I understand many more of the posts I've seen on here.
